KIM KARDASHIAN'S TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF THE MANCHESTER ATTACK

Kim was forced to delete a post that served as a tribute in the wake of the Manchester attack after the beauty mogul faced backlash for making the tragic event about herself.

The post included a photo of herself with Kendall Jenner and Ariana Grande at what seems to be a concert after 22 civilians died at the singer’s concert.

Kardashian wrote:

“I’m praying for everyone in Manchester. This is truly so senseless & heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the fear and agony these parents must be going through searching for their kids. Concerts are supposed to be a place where you can let loose and have fun.”

People immediately responded to Kim's post, calling her out for her "inappropriate" social media post.

Kardashian responded to the issue through the New York Times:

“I would obviously never want to offend anyone. I used an amazing photographer and a team of people. I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off. But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it.”

Critics said the girls didn’t deserve to be with the likes of Pink Floyd and The Doors on shirts, including Sharon Osbourne, who took to Twitter her comments about a re-make of a Black Sabbath T-shirt.
